TY - JOUR ID - 1123177 AU - Trávníková, Petra PY - 2013 TI - Building rapport in an online community via positive politeness strategies JF - Discourse and Interaction VL - 5 IS - 2 SP - 67-83 EP - 67-83 SN - 18029930 KW - asynchronous CMC KW - positive politeness strategies KW - face KW - face-threatening acts KW - gender N2 - The present paper concentrates on the role of politeness strategies in on-line groups formed around an Internet message board dedicated to dieting. As the concept of weight is a sensitive part of people’s identity, it produces face-threatening acts as defined by Brown and Levinson (1978). The aim of this paper is to show which positive politeness strategies are used to minimize these threats and how they differ depending on participants’ sex. Moreover, it also intends to examine how positive politeness strategies function to enhance community spirit and keep an on-line community alive. ER -
